One of the most salient haptic characteristics of objects is surface texture. Psychophysics studies have identified several key factors that affect perception of roughness during...
In this paper we discuss the design of computer-based haptic graphs for blind and visually impaired people with the support of our preliminary experimental results. Since visual i...
Force feedback coupled with visual display allows people to interact intuitively with complex virtual environments. For this synergy of haptics and graphics to flourish, however, ...

The process which enables virtual objects to mimic their real world counterparts is known as realistic rendering in haptics. Realistic sensations could relate to any spatial featu...
Autonomous robots, such as automatic vacuum cleaners, toy robot dogs, and autonomous vehicles for the military, are rapidly becoming a part of everyday life. As a result the need ...
